What our students are saying

Thank you for your hardwork and support during my time at Concordia University. I appreciated the fantastic team at Veteran Services. Your office provided me with a caring, compassionate, and nurturing environment. Blessings to you and your team.

Michael Allen / US Military Veteran,
School of Pharmacy

I am a new student to s级素人 and a veteran from Minnesota and taking online classes, but I just had to say, this is the coolest thing I have heard of a school doing for veterans! I have attended a few other schools and none have been as patriotic as this one! I am excited to be attending here, and when I graduate, I will be making the 5 hour drive for the ceremony.

Andrea Wittlief / U.S. Army National Guard,
Online Education

The veteran鈥檚 program at Concordia University helped me to graduate 18 months ahead of time. I received assistance from the Director, and I was able to transfer 36 credits from my military transcript and apply that to my degree program right away. The office of Veteran鈥檚 Affairs played an integral role in me completing my bachelor鈥檚 degree.
